If users are engaging in personal attacks, racism, homophobia, or what

thing, but in terms of some userboxes (and some users' use of
userboxes) being disruptive to the community and being individually
taken to TFD as such.
Oh I completely agree. The babel boxes, etc, indeed most userboxes,
are fine. Some may be used for attacks and must be deleted. Some
promote factionalism by providing a handy directory for the pushers of
various points of view (I have identified three such cases in the past
three weeks) and they must also go. I don't thinkk we need be overly
concerned about "powered by alcohol" and other joky stuff.
